They signed restricted free agents Jakub Kindl (four years, $9.6 million on June 28) and Brendan Smith (two years, $2.52 million on July 15) and will come to terms with Gustav Nyquist and Joakim Andersson before training camp.

They used one of their maximum two compliance buyouts on defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo, eliminating his $2.5 million salary-cap hit for 2013-14.

General manager Ken Holland said he is done making moves unless he is able to trim salary. Depending on their injury situation, the Red Wings will need to move up to two players and shed some salary before the start of the regular season.
